This “Jesus, Life and Truth, Let the Kingdom of God Come” reflection is a form of mental prayer that comes from a very intimate time I spent in adoration with the Lord.
Prayer before Jesus, Life and Truth, in Adoration
While with Jesus in adoration I began to desire the coming Kingdom of God.
Jesus, Life and Truth, I look at You and my heart hurts. My mind is swimming with troubling thoughts. I say nothing because you know me, and just by entering this place, immediately, the peace washes over my heart. Thank you Jesus. I sit and I wait. I’m here for the Divine Mercy recitation. I have time before it begins. I just want to feel Your love and to respond with a return of love.
It’s a First Saturday. I’ve come to be with You. And my heart, it turns and swells with gratitude for the peace You give. It’s a mystery. But it is the most assured love my soul has ever known. It’s a constant. You are most gracious and generous.
Thank you Jesus. Your children know. We see. The Virgin Mary our mother has been stirring our hearts. And we know. Our people have strayed from the Law, they have forgotten our heritage in God the Father, they have left Your Sacred Heart and chased after other gods. We come and beg for mercy. I feel sad that not enough are here. Many still do not feel the urgency to pray.
War is the consequence of sin. It comes when man has forgotten he is made in the image and likeness of You, Lord, and is made to rest in Your Sacred Heart.
Jesus, Life and Truth, save us. We have sinned and our sin has caused the shedding of innocent blood. Let me do penance for the sins of others. For generations we have killed the unborn, and your people have lacked reverence in worship. We have committed sin upon sin without confession and remorse. People have normalized sin. We have accepted it and even tried to say it is not an abomination.
Please, God, have mercy on us. We deserve the just punishments. Those who do not repent and amend their lives will surely die. Please God, give them grace so they will be spared from hell. Please God, give grace to them so that they repent and turn away from the selfishness, egoism, and sins of the flesh.
Jesus I love You. Jesus, Life and Truth, save us from the future to come.
The world is broken, and the evil overwhelms the senses. Yet here, in your presence, I have peace. Jesus you are Life and Truth, and I kneel before You in gratitude that You have given Yourself to me. You are present in all the tabernacles of the world. You are with Me until the end of time. Never let me part from You. Please, Jesus, never let me sin against Your Sacred Heart and so offend Your holiness.
Let the Kingdom of God come. Please, Jesus, Life and Truth. Let it come down from heaven and reign in the hearts of man. Please, help us repent and turn to You once again. Help us rebuild the world that is now full of evil. Let us create a new heart, grafted to Your most divine Heart, and full of the Spirit and Truth.
Amen.
Divine Mercy for the Sins of the World
For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world…
I began to choke up. My heart realizes the sin, the gravity of the sin, and it begins to hurt and burn. The Holy Spirit is stirring my heart.
We recite, nearly 20 of us, on a First Saturday, beneath the gaze of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
I feel the pain of the sin. The faithful are called to pray right now, in this moment in history. I fight back the tears.
I know. I just know. The people do not love Him. They are not connected to the vine. Many are blind and do not see. Some are in a state of confusion and clouded by a lack of discernment of the hour.
I clutch my rosary beads and was told. I was shown. Nearly two years ago the Blessed Mother called me into prayer, to atone for the sins of the world. To enter into commitment, as Our Lady of Fatima begged. The laity of the world must pray the First Friday and the First Saturday devotions. The Pope must consecrate Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. If these things were not done, Russia’s errors would spread around the world and we would see the shedding of innocent blood.
Jesus, Life and Truth, please have mercy on us. Please Heavenly Father, have mercy on the whole world.
Amen.
Let the Kingdom of God Come
I look at Him. He reads my mind and tells me to open the Diary of St. Faustina and read entry 688.
“Jesus Life, and Truth, my Master, guide every step of my life, that I may act according to Your holy will.”
I decide I must make this my daily prayer. Yes, Jesus.
Then He shows me Deuteronomy 11:26-28.
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day, and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which you have not known.
Deuteronomy 11:26-28
I read the entire chapter, understanding what He is saying to my heart. There are consequences when the people turn their backs on God and follow after sinful desires. He has commandments and laws, but on an intimate level, each and every soul who sits in His presence also comes to know His will for their lives. And when we come and sit with Him we become His cenacle. His beloved. The ones He asks to grow in strength and do the work. This was the message in chapter 11, and it struck my heart.
My worst fear is the sin of omission. Was there a vital task that Jesus wanted that I failed to do? Did I fail in ignorance or with complicit denial of His request? I am truly sorry, Jesus. I know every day You ask me to do things. There are times when self-love wins my heart and I betray Your command. Please Jesus, Life and Truth, do not let me offend You or betray You.
I love You Jesus.
Forgive me.

"If, devout soul, it is your will to please God and live a life of serenity in this world, unite yourself always and in all things to the divine will. Reflect that all the sins of your past wicked life happened because you wandered from the path of God’s will."
